Board proposes survey on flexible start times for schools

A new survey aimed at gathering community input on school start times is in the works, following discussions at the June 10 Board of Education meeting in Georgia. Board members emphasized the importance of clearly communicating the trade-offs involved in changing start times, including the potential for flexible schedules versus fixed times.

One board member highlighted the need for the survey to guide the community through the complexities of the decision, ensuring that parents and students understand the implications of their choices. The board expressed optimism about this initiative, viewing it as a significant step toward making informed decisions that reflect the needs of the community.

As the survey is drafted, the board plans to present it to the community for feedback, aiming to foster an inclusive dialogue about school scheduling. This move signals a commitment to transparency and collaboration in shaping educational policies that affect students and families.
